I'm trying to learn how to accurately keep track of my pace as I'm swimming and learn to be able to set out to do a particular lap time and do that time. For instance doing my 100s on 1:40 or 1:30 or 1:20. Could anyone give me some suggestions on how to keep track of what lap times you're doing as your swimming and learning to keep a certain pace?

Like Lump, as an age grouper & college swimmer, I was a distance guy and could pretty much hit a target pace or know what pace I was going. My raw knowledge of my actual pace in a meet now is nowhere near as refined, but I still have the ability (generally) to get onto a pace and keep hitting it 100 after 100. Repetition works.
I don't even have raw knowledge of my pace nowadays! Probably why I'm not focusing on distance anymore (expect the summer/fall OW season).:D
